[VERSE 1]
     Dm                         C
In a cloud of dust cross Texas, south of San Antone
    Bb                                 A7
The lawman and the cowboy pushed their horses on
Dm                    C
Racin' toward the Rio running out of time
     Bb                         A7                          Dm
They had to catch the outlaws before they crossed the borderline
                                    C
Well, the lawman wanted justice the cowboy needs revenge
     Bb                             A7
They tracked the Outlaws' horses up to the river's edge
    Dm                     C
And there across the Rio a badge ain't worth a dime
    Bb                         A7                          Dm
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the borderline


[CHORUS]
        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins
             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back
          F    Bb                   C                 Bb    Dm
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline


[VERSE 2]
       Dm                         C
In the safety of the badlands the outlaws stopped their run
    Bb                              A7
The campfire rings with laughter of evil things they've done
           Dm                        C
How they'd taken all they wanted and killed the cowboy's wife
    Bb                             A7                 Dm
And knew no one would follow them,    cross the borderline
                           C
The lawman and the cowboys stepped out of the dark
           Bb                               A7
And it was two against the twenty and every bullet found its mark
    Dm                      C
And so goes the legend that out there in the night
    Bb                          A7                     Dm
The two still ride together somewhere beyond the borderline


[CHORUS]
        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins
             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back
          F    Bb                   C                 Bb   C Dm C7 Bb C
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline
        F    Bb            C                  F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind, down a dusty trail, destiny begins
             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back
        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins
                 Bb           C
And heroes never turn or look back
